MX250 Air Box.
« on: May 20, 2011, 08:35:46 pm »
Just out of curiosity :P.

This is the airbox on the MX I got from Shaun.

http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=18574.0

The RHS of any MX air box I've seen has been sealed by foam strips glued to the side cover. This one has what appear as a OEM rubber cover to do the same (someone has smothered it in white silicon to improve the seal/fit.

I had a look at the parts catalog and can't see it  included. Has the Yammy Brains Trust ever seen such a thing? Comments?

Outa curiosity you understand :).

Musta been a mid model improvement/mod ::). It certainly looks 'factory'.

He's a step ahead of you Shaun!  :D

That airbox has been around: cyclegod, me, you, and now MX.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
